Acute granulomatous interstitial nephritis and acute rejection in a kidney transplant recipient after zoledronic acid therapy - a case report and review of the literature.

CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this is the first case of AGIN related to bisphosphonate zoledronate in a kidney transplant patient with consequent acute cellular rejection. In using intravenous zoledronate infusion in a kidney transplant recipient, we should be aware that it could potentially induce acute granulomatous tubulointerstitial nephritis and acute rejection.
